How to make a Flatter confused.

"Proving Earth is roundRapper B.o.B wants to crowdfund his own satellite and launch it into space to find out, once and for all, whether the Earth is flat or round. As a flat-Earth conspiracy theorist, the Georgia-based musician is betting on flat, but his $1 million call for cash on GoFundMe has raised only about $2,000 in its first five days, the first $1,000 pledged by B.o.B himself."

This is so weird I can't help thinking it is some sort of Spinal Tap type joke. I mean, the whole thing about a satellite is that it goes round and gets back to where it started. What does he think is going happen to his satellite? One too many spliffs, perhaps?

I'd love to hear more about his theory and why it would work. I'll try to keep this thread updated. Sadly, GoFundMe has become GoBleepYourTheory and frozen the account until he can provide a rational basis for his plans.

What equipment will be carried by this satellite which has not already been sent into space?

Obviously cameras are going to be useless since there are already millions of photos showing a round Earth

Although it just occurred to me this genius will be involved in picking the mission of the satellite and his idea of the type of equipment needed to prove a flat Earth

I would imagine that he, like probably a lot of the other Earth-bound laypeople, would be more convinced by seeing his own experiment in-action, than by just taking the word of someone else. He would be less skeptical that the results could be faked or massaged before being released.
